Virat Kohli on Wednesday justified his call to go for a break stating that his body requires it at the moment, given he’s been playing non-stop for the past 48 months.
Speaking at the post-match ceremony, Kohli said: “The last time I took rest, it was difficult to handle.
The workload has been massive, I have been playing non-stop for the last 48 months; I need rest.
That was something I always hesitated to do but this made me realise that you can push the game forward even in Test cricket,” he said.
When I was finding my feet in Test cricket, I was under pressure.
